Neon Run SA: The Durban Chapter

Last weekend on the 30 August 2014 was Durban's turn to experience this really bright event.

Gates opened at 2:00pm and the Neon Run was scheduled for 6:30pm.

There was plenty of entertainment as people slowly filled up the side field near Kingspark Stadium. Some 5FM DJs including Roger Goode, Dean FUEL and alternate rocker Mathew Mole played throughout the day.

The 5km run started at 7:00pm with some people running straight to the loos at Moses Mabhida Stadium and a few people (I won't mention any names) running straight to Subway for a chow!

The run itself was fun. There were people skateboarding and rollerblading too. At the halfway mark there was a led UV light station for people to take selfies.

When the people got back the party went on into the night.

We didn't stay till the end. We ended up at Rovers Sports Club and were unfortunate enough to see some Rovers Rugby players go Full Monty on the bar! The free stripshow was not appreciated.

The next run is to be held in Bloemfontein at Chevrolet Park on the 20th of September 2014. If you're in the area it would be good to check it out. You won't be disappointed.

It's lank lekker boet!

This morning Gareth Cliff mentioned on 5FM a video on YouTube that is going viral in South Africa.

It is called Jozi Shore and it takes the Mickey out of the American TV series Jersey Shore and the Johannesburg East Rand culture of spray tans and gym freaks. It is extremely funny and as of this morning the video has 130000 views!

The video was made by Dean Jay Shamley and Anton Taylor.

I hope these guys make more Jozi Shore episodes as we need more humor in SA! Well done guys.

Some of the popular quotes viewers enjoyed are:


"I thought he was a bit of a gay!"

"Castle light! Of course h20s only 2 weeks away!"

"You know I don't really trust this place, I don't trust a man whose arms are thinner than a girls"

"This biscuit kak, nah nah"

"The biggest gym in the world, it's the kitchen boet"

"gumboots... I'm gonna be knee deep brother".

This is the video's description on YouTube:
